'''Jayashakti''' ([[IAST]]: Jayaśakti) was a 9th-century ruler from the [[Chandela]] dynasty of Central India. In the Chandela records, he is generally mentioned with his younger brother and successor, [[Vijayashakti]]. The two are believed to have ruled the Chandela kingdom between c. 865 and 885 CE.{{sfn|Dikshit|1976|p=28}} They consolidated the Chandela power.{{sfn|Mitra|1977|p=30}}<br />
<br />
Jayashakti succeeded his father [[Vakpati (Chandela dynasty)|Vakpati]]. He is also known as Jeja or Jejjaka. An inscription found at [[Mahoba]] states that the Chandela territory (later called [[Bundelkhand]]) was named "Jejakabhukti" after the him.{{sfn|Dikshit|1976|p=28}}<br />
<br />
Much of the information about Jayashakti and Vijayashakti in Chandela records is eulogistic in nature, and of little historical value.{{sfn|Dikshit|1976|p=28}} These records state that they destroyed their enemies, but do not name any of the defeated rulers.{{sfn|Dikshit|1976|p=29}}<br />
<br />
The [[Kalachuris of Tripuri|Kalachuri]] king Kokkala I married a Chandela princess Naṭṭā-devi. According to [[R. C. Majumdar]], this princess might have been a daughter of Jayashakti.<ref>{{cite book |author=Ramesh Chandra Majumdar |title=The History and Culture of the Indian People: The age of imperial Kanauj |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qLwKAQAAIAAJ |year=1951 |publisher=G. Allen & Unwin |page=83 }}</ref> R. K. Dikshit, on the other hand, believes that she was probably a daughter or sister of Jayashakti's nephew [[Rahila]].{{sfn|Dikshit|1976|p=31}}<br />
<br />
Jayashakti probably died without an heir, because of which he was succeeded by his younger brother.{{sfn|Dikshit|1976|p=28}}<br />
